‘God save me so I can save others’: Khloe Kardashian’s ex Lamar Odom invests in three drug treatment centers… after nearly dying in 2015
Lamar Odom has invested in three drug treatment centers in California to help “save lives.”
Khloe Kardashian’s ex-husband, 43, suffered a near-fatal overdose in 2015.
He was found unconscious in a brothel in Nevada – suffering from kidney failure, heart problems and a number of strokes before he recovered.
And now the basketball star — who was seen on a Fox special earlier this year — has decided to pour his money into helping others battling drink and drug problems.
He wants to help everyone he can. He is grateful to have been given a second chance in his life and feels it is his destiny to help others,” a representative for Odom said TMZ.

The former Los Angeles Lakers star has invested in two detox homes, a residential treatment home for men and a residential treatment home for women.
The facilities are located in San Diego, El Cajon and Lemon Grove, California.
It is part of a joint venture with Christian hip-hop artist Dontae Ralston and skater Dennis Martinez and the rehab clinic will be called Odom Wellness Treatment Centers.
A representative for the sports star told TMZ that Odom plans to get heavily involved in working at the facilities and is “ready to start saving lives.”
It is believed that Odom plans to expand his rehabilitation center project by opening two more facilities in California – in San Diego and Calabasas.
The basketball player separated from his wife, Chloe, at the time of his overdose, but she put divorce proceedings on hold to allow him to recover.

He later opened up about his drug use during their marriage on TMZ PRESENTS: Lamar Odom: Sex, Drugs and the Kardashians — admitting that it put Khloe through hell.
Odom said: Drugs were my friend. I had a wife.. and I had cocaine.
‘For part of our marriage. I had to tell her. We can’t hide it forever. Yes, I did (support me). I mean, behind the scenes I put in some castles. The things you think you know are crazy. But the stories you don’t know are really crazy.
Khloe was married to Lamar from 2009 until 2016.
The good American designer was by his side in 2015 and nursed him back to health after a near-fatal overdose.
She has since moved in with Tristan Thompson, with whom she has two children. She and Tristan broke up last year after several incidents in which he cheated on her.
